Reuse a firm-level SOP

Create an SOP at the accounting-firm level, publish it to the SOP Library, and reuse it from a client account when starting a new Studio run.

Workflow

Step 1

Open the firm account

Start from the accounting firm workspace so the SOP can be saved with firm-level visibility.

Step 2

Open SOP Library

Use the Workpaper Agent navigation to reach the library where reusable SOPs are managed.

FAQ

Who can reuse a firm-level SOP?

Firm-level SOPs are created from the accounting firm workspace and can be reused from client accounts that have access to the firm library.

Limitations

Remove client-specific details before saving

Review and refine the SOP before saving it at firm level so client names, account details, or one-off workbook assumptions are not reused by mistake.

Troubleshooting

The SOP does not appear from the client account.

Confirm the SOP was saved from the firm workspace and appears as published in the SOP Library before switching into the client account.
